The Milwaukee Bucks are close to a deal for a new arena, according to the Associated Press.

City officials, members of the Wisconsin state Legislature, and the president of the Bucks all said they're close to reaching a deal to pay for a new $500 million arena and are hoping to announce the deal on Wednesday. This is great news for the Bucks and their fans as the NBA had previously said they would have to buy back the team and relocate it in the absence of a new stadium by 2017.

Jason Kidd praised his young team after Thursday's season-ending Game 6 loss to the Bulls.

"I wanted to congratulate the guys on a great year, not just a great series, but a great year," said Kidd. "They're not a secret anymore, and they have to get better if they want to compete against the best. That's it, you move on." Kidd transformed the Bucks franchise from a 15-win organization, to a 41-win playoff team in his first season with Milwaukee with limited changes to the roster. Khris Middleton really excelled in Kidd's system, and if he elects to re-sign with Milwaukee during free agency, he'll make for a quality mid-round selection in standard fantasy leagues.

The Milwaukee Bucks unveiled a new team logo on Tuesday that they will start using after the 2014-15 season.

The new logo can be see in the link below, but the existing logo has been updated to what the team is calling a "fiercer and more aggressive" look. While the new logo will bring a new look to the Bucks, fantasy owners will have to hope that the change will also bring a positive change to Jason Kidd's clear-as-mud rotations.

Jason Kidd refused to shed light on his decision to sit Giannis Antetokounmpo on Wednesday night.

While Antetokounmpo said he didn't know the reasoning behind the DNP-CD, Kidd was a bit more combative with reports. "Coach's decision," Kidd said after Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers. "It was a coach's decision. I don't know what, you guys can't hear? You guys are smart. How about the game? The guys played at a very high level, yes, they put themselves in a position to win. That's first and foremost the most important thing, not asking me stupid questions about why Giannis didn't play." It would be surprising to see Kidd sit Antetokounmpo again when the Bucks visit the Knicks on Friday, but we'll update this situation as soon as more news is available.

The Bucks are No. 2 in the NBA in defensive efficiency, giving up 99.1 points per 100 possessions.

Additionally, since January 1, the team ranks first in opponents field goal percentage (41.2%), third in opponents points (92.9) and first in opponents three-point percentage (30.2%). "They care," Jason Kidd said. "They take pride in playing defense and that was one of the things we talked about starting in training camp." After winning just 15 games all of last season, Jason Kidd has the Bucks over .500, on pace to make the postseason and shatter expectations all without Larry Sanders (personal) for most of the season. Perhaps the Kidd can coach after all.

Bucks head coach Jason Kidd has been giving written tests to his players, according to Grantland's Zach Lowe.

Kidd gives his players a written test about strategy and basketball history every game day. The coaching staff then grades each one and keeps a running tally of player scores through the season. "I’m not gonna lie," Giannis Antetokounmpo says. "Sometimes I cheat and ask the older guys." What Alphabet doesn't realize is that Kidd is hoping the players cheat as he believes it will foster more strategy dialogue in the locker room.

Jason Kidd responded to Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov's comments about his departure as Brooklyn's head coach on Tuesday.

After Prokhorov made a comment to the media that equated to Kidd not letting the door hit him on the way out of town, Kidd responded, "I'm no longer in Brooklyn. Unfortunately they keep talking about it. I don't. Now if it was me and him playing 1-on-1 on the court, that would be fine." We'll have to wait and see if Prokhorov takes Kidd up on the 1-on-1 challenge, but the back-and-forth should make the Bucks-Nets matchup on November 18 a lot more interesting.

Jason Kidd hinted during a recent interview that going into training camp, no one on the Bucks' roster is a designated starter.

"There's a lot of open positions in the sense of starting," Kidd said. "Minutes are wide open." The Bucks are going to be bad again this season, and probably the only person guaranteed a starting position is Jabari Parker. It'll be interesting to see how Kidd's rotations develop over training camp and preseason, and we'll be monitoring the situation closely.

Giannis Antetokounmpo said that he wants to stay with the Bucks "forever."

"You never know how life turns out," Antetokounmpo said. "Three years ago I was thinking that I might be playing for Filathlitikos forever! All of a sudden, the draft emerged, the NBA, the Bucks and everything that followed. I don’t know how I’ll be feeling and thinking in two, three or more years. Right now I feel like I want to play for the Milwaukee Bucks forever." Bucks fans will be thrilled to hear the Greek Freak's passion about the franchise, and it will be a lot of fun to watch his game continue to grow under head coach Jason Kidd.

According to Bucks general manager John Hammond, The Bucks will be "very conservative" with Jabari Parker's minutes next season.

"I get asked two questions every single day. No. 1 is, how’s Jabari? And No. 2: How soon will Jabari be back to play?" Hammond said. "I answer the first one very easily and say he’s doing absolutely great. His rehab is going well. The second answer: We’re going to be very conservative with him. If we think he’s capable of playing 20, we’ll maybe play him 10 minutes. If we think he can play a back-to-back, we’ll wait on the back-to-back. Whatever it is, we’re going to be very cautious as he move forward because of the magnitude of who he can be and who we hope he can be for our organization going forward." It's great to hear that Parker's rehab is going well, but his fantasy outlook takes a hit with this news because it sounds like the Bucks will be extremely cautious with him, especially in the early going.
